TECHNICAL FIELD

Embodiments of the present application relate to the communications field, and in particular, to a channel feedback information transmission method.

BACKGROUND

A wireless communications network already evolves over four generations, and a technical route of evolution of the wireless communications network is: from macro base station and macro cell networking to micro base station and micro cell networking, and then to high-power dense networking. Regardless of which networking manner, signal interference between different cells is always a problem needs to be handled.

Based on the foregoing technical route, in a wireless communications system of the high-power dense networking, neither a cell nor a sector is centered on a base station, because signal coverage areas overlap between different base stations. Therefore, a user is jointly covered by multiple base stations, and with collaboration between the base stations, a signal power can be obviously increased, but much interference also exists. To perform interference cancellation and suppression, a channel state needs to be accurately estimated and fed back.

However, in such a scenario of dense networking and high-power coverage, an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) physical layer technology is used in the prior art. Because a channel feedback amount is very large, causing very large wireless transmission overheads. system performance is relatively low.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

The following clearly describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Apparently, the described embodiments are merely some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a communications system based on dense wireless coverage. In the communications system, neither a cell nor a sector is centered on a base station, because there is very large overlap between coverage areas of base stations. In the communications system, signals between cells interfere with each other, and to more accurately perform interference cancellation and suppression, a channel state needs to be accurately estimated and fed back. If an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) physical layer technology is used, in such a scenario of dense networking and high-power coverage, a channel feedback amount is very large, so that wireless transmission overheads are very large, which is a technical problem that needs to be resolved.

As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 2 describes composition of a communications system based on dense wireless coverage. The communications system includes three parts: a lowest part is base station sites, where the base station sites are characterized by a high transmit power, signal coverage areas of the base station sites are greatly overlapped with each other, a cellular structure is not regular any more between the base station sites, and network topology networking may be randomly performed; a middle part is a wireless transmission part, where the wireless transmission part is connected to a centralized controller (or a data center) by means of an optical fiber, a microwave or the like; and an uppermost part is the centralized controller (or the data center), which is a centralized processing array as a whole, and has a function of calculating a signal waveform transmitted by each site and scheduling a user service. To accurately calculate a transmitted waveform, channel sounding of a user needs to be fed back to the data center by means of a wireless transmission network.

As shown in FIG. 3. FIG. 3 describes a channel feedback information transmission method according to an embodiment of the present application. The method is used to feed back channel information, and the method specifically includes step 101 to step 105.

101: A terminal performs channel estimation on a subcarrier on which a downlink pilot is located, and obtains first channel information.

The terminal may be an electronic device having a communications function, such as a smartphone or a tablet computer.

The terminal may perform, by using an algorithm, such as an MMSE (Minimum Mean Square Error) algorithm or an LS (Least Square) algorithm, the channel estimation on the subcarrier on which the downlink pilot is located.

The first channel information refers to a channel transmission function of the subcarrier on which the downlink pilot is located.

102: The terminal performs a channel interpolation calculation on a channel of a data subcarrier according to the first channel information, and obtains second channel information according to a result of the channel interpolation calculation.

After the channel transmission function of the pilot subcarrier is estimated, a channel response of the data subcarrier may be obtained by means of interpolation between adjacent pilot subcarriers. Commonly used interpolation algorithms include a linear interpolation algorithm, a second-order interpolation algorithm, a time-domain interpolation algorithm and other interpolation algorithms.

The second channel information refers to a channel transmission function of a pilot subcarrier and a channel transmission function of a data subcarrier.

103: The terminal determines a feedback factor.

The feedback factor may be understood as a proportion of a feedback. For example, if the feedback factor is 2, channel information of a resource element is fed back every two resource elements.

104: The terminal obtains third channel information from the second channel information according to the feedback factor, where an amount of the third channel information is less than an amount of the second channel information.

The terminal obtains all channel information by means of the channel estimation and the interpolation calculation, and if the channel information is all fed back to a base station, a large quantity of wireless feedback channel resources are occupied.

Therefore, the terminal may select some information from the second channel information as third channel information by means of the feedback factor.

The feedback factor may be preset, or may dynamically change according to the amount of the first channel information and the amount of the second channel information. For example, if the feedback factor is set to 3, a piece of third channel information of a resource element is determined every three REs (Resource Element).

105: The terminal feeds back the third channel information to a base station.

After a third channel on which a feedback needs to be performed is determined according to the feedback factor, channel information of the third channel is fed back to the base station by means of an uplink.

It may be known from above that, according to the channel feedback information transmission method provided in this embodiment of the present application, the terminal obtains third channel information from the second channel information according to the feedback factor, and the terminal feeds back the third channel information to a base station. Some channel information is selected and fed back by means of a feedback factor, so that a balance between performance of a communications system and channel feedback transmission overheads is reached, thereby improving efficiency of a communications system.

Optionally, as shown in FIG. 4, in another embodiment of the present application, step 103 specifically includes step 201 and step 202.

201: The terminal calculates a channel variance according to the second channel information.

The terminal calculates a channel of each subcarrier in a sub-band according to a channel interpolation algorithm, and then calculates a channel variance of the entire sub-band.

202: The terminal determines the feedback factor according to the channel variance and the result of the channel interpolation calculation.

The terminal determines and selects the feedback factor according to a relationship between the channel variance of the entire sub-band and the result of the channel interpolation calculation.

As time elapses, the feedback factor changes.

In a frequency band, the feedback factor is determined according to a performance requirement. Therefore, a compromise between performance of a communications system and channel feedback wireless transmission overheads may be achieved by determining the feedback factor.

Optionally, in another embodiment of the present application, step 103 specifically includes:

determining, by the terminal, the feedback factor according to a time-domain half-wave bandwidth of the second channel information.

A flowchart of calculating a time-domain half-wave bandwidth is shown in FIG. 4a , and a specific process is as follows:

It is assumed that, a length of a CP (cyclic prefix) of an OFDM system is K, and a size of an FFT (fast Fourier transformation) block is N. If an OFDM signal that is first input already completes synchronization, data obtained after CP removal is performed on the input signal: x₁, x₂, . . . , x_(K+N) is: x_(K+1), x_(K+2), . . . , x_(K+N).

N pieces of data x_(K+1), x_(K+2), . . . , x_(K+N) is used as an input to perform an N-FFT transformation, and an output is: X_(K+1), X_(K+2), . . . , X_(K+N). In the N points, some positions are pilots. It is assumed that, L points of the N points are pilots, an LS or MMSE estimation is separately performed on the L points, that is, a frequency-domain channel estimation on each pilot position is completed: X=d×H+N, where X herein is data of the pilot position (that is, one piece of data of X_(K+1), X_(K+2), . . . , X_(K+N)), H represents a frequency-domain channel of the pilot position, N represents frequency-domain noise of the pilot position, and is a Gaussian random variable satisfying that a variance is σ², and d is pilot data transmitted by the pilot position, and is data that is already known, for example, 1 or −1 or another complex number. The channel estimation: an LS algorithm: H′=X(d^(H)d+σ²)⁻¹d.

After the frequency-domain channel of the pilot position is estimated, all frequency-domain channels of N positions are calculated by using an interpolation algorithm, and the interpolation algorithm includes an algorithm, such as Wiener filtering. Then, after an N-IFFT transformation is performed on the frequency-domain channel, channel pulses of a time domain are obtained: h₁, h₂, . . . , h_(N). Details are shown in FIG. 4 b.

A time-domain half-wave bandwidth may be calculated in a manner similar to that a frequency-domain bandwidth is calculated. For example, it is assumed that W satisfies |h_(W)|≥|h_(i)| (i=1, 2, 3 . . . , N). It is assumed that W1 satisfies a minimum subscript of

${{h_{W\; 1}} \geq {\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}{h_{W}}}},$

and W2 satisfies a maximum subscript of

${h_{W\; 2}} \geq {\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}{{h_{W}}.}}$

W₁−W₂ is calculated as the time-domain half-wave bandwidth. The larger bandwidth indicates that fluctuation of a frequency domain is larger, and the feedback factor is smaller (that is, a feedback needs to be performed on more channels). The smaller bandwidth indicates that fluctuation of the frequency domain is smaller, and the feedback factor is larger (that is, a feedback needs to be performed on fewer channels).

As shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 5 describes another channel feedback information transmission method according to an embodiment of the present application. The method is used to feed back channel information, and the method specifically includes step 301 to step 302.

301: A base station obtains a load ratio of a radio transmission link, where the load ratio is a ratio of an information exchange amount to a link capacity, where the information exchange amount is an amount of information exchange between the base station and a data center within a preset period of time, and the link capacity is an amount of containable information in a link from the base station to the data center within a preset period of time.

The base station may determine, by using the load ratio of the radio transmission link, whether a sufficient surplus capacity exists in the radio transmission link. When the surplus capacity is insufficient, the feedback factor is lowered, ensuring performance of a wireless communications system. When the feedback factor is not enough to support coordinated communication performance, an alarm is needed to notify the data center that a channel feedback is alarmed.

302: When the load ratio is greater than or equal to a first preset value, the base station extracts, according to a first feedback factor, first channel feedback information from channel information fed back by a terminal, and transmits the first channel feedback information to the data center.

The first feedback factor may be preset, or may dynamically change according to a change in the load ratio. For example, it is assumed that the first preset value is 50%. When the load ratio is 50% to 70%, a first feedback factor may be 3, and a piece of channel information is fed back every three REs, that is, a quarter of the channel information fed back by the terminal may be extracted as the first channel feedback information and be fed back. When the load ratio is 70% to 80%, the first feedback factor may be 4, that is, one fifth of the channel information fed back by the terminal may be extracted as the first channel feedback information and be fed back. When the load ratio is excessively high, and the channel information fed back according to the feedback factor is not enough to support the coordinated communication performance, an alarm is needed to notify the data center that a channel feedback is alarmed.

It may be known from above that, according to the channel feedback information transmission method provided in this embodiment of the present application, the base station obtains a load ratio of a radio transmission link, and when the load ratio is greater than or equal to a first preset value, the base station extracts, according to a first feedback factor, first channel feedback information from channel information fed back by a terminal. Some channel information is selected and fed back by means of a feedback factor, so that a balance between a load of a radio transmission link and channel feedback transmission overheads is reached, thereby improving efficiency of a communications system.

Optionally, as shown in FIG. 6, in another embodiment of the present application, step 302 specifically includes step 401 and step 402.

401: When the load ratio is greater than or equal to the first preset value, the base station obtains a second feedback factor according to a preset proportion and the first feedback factor.

402: The base station extracts, according to the second feedback factor, second channel feedback information from the channel information fed back by the terminal, and transmits the second channel feedback information to the data center, where the second feedback factor is greater than the first feedback factor.

Optionally, in another embodiment of the present application, after step 301, the method further includes step 403:

when the load ratio is less than the first preset value, the base station extracts, according to a third feedback factor, third channel feedback information from the channel information fed back by the terminal, and transmits the third channel feedback information to the data center, where the third feedback factor is less than the first feedback factor.

After the base station obtains the load ratio of the radio transmission link, the load ratio is compared with the first preset value, and when the load ratio is less than the first preset value, it indicates that a load capacity of the radio transmission link still has a surplus, some feedback information may be extracted, according to the preset third feedback factor, from the channel information fed back by the terminal, and is used as the third channel feedback information, and the third channel feedback information is transmitted to the data center.

The third feedback factor may be preset, or may change according to a change in the load ratio. When the channel information fed back by the terminal is extracted, the channel information is extracted according to a reciprocal of the feedback factor. For example, it is assumed that the first preset value is 50%. When the load ratio is 0% to 30%, the third feedback factor may be 1, that is, 50% of the channel information fed back by the terminal may be extracted according to the third feedback factor, be used as the first channel feedback information, and be fed back. When the load ratio is 30% to 50%, the third feedback factor may be 2, that is, 33.3% of the channel information fed back by the terminal may be extracted according to the third feedback factor, be used as the third channel feedback information, and be fed back.

As shown in FIG. 7, FIG. 7 describes another channel feedback information transmission method according to an embodiment of the present application. The method is used to feed back channel information, and the method specifically includes step 501 to step 502.

501: A base station determines a change rate of a channel according to information about the channel fed back by a terminal.

The information about the channel may be a channel transmission function.

After the base station receives the information about the channel fed back by the terminal, a change speed of the channel may be determined based on a calculation of Doppler measurement. For example, the calculation may be performed according to a correlation between former and latter signal symbols by means of a simple correlation algorithm.

A frequency shift of a channel based on Doppler measurement specifically includes: first measuring an autocorrelation function of a channel time difference, then performing a Fourier transformation on the autocorrelation function to obtain a power spectrum of the channel, and finally calculating largest maximum Doppler frequency shift of the channel.

502: When the change rate of the channel is greater than or equal to a first preset value, the base station feeds back the information about the channel to a data center according to a first preset frequency.

For example, if the change rate of the channel is greater than or equal to the first preset value, it may be considered that the channel changes fast, and the base station may feed back the information about the channel to the data center according to 50 ms or 20 ms per set.

It may be known from above that, according to the channel feedback information transmission method provided in this embodiment of the present application, when the change rate of the channel is greater than or equal to the first preset value, the base station feeds back the information about the channel to a data center according to a first preset frequency, and the base station determines, according to the change rate of the channel, a frequency at which channel information is fed back to the data center, thereby improving efficiency of a communications system.

Optionally, in another embodiment of the present application, after step 502, the method further includes the following step:

when the change rate of the channel is less than the first preset value, feeding back by the base station, the information about the channel to the data center according to a second preset frequency, where the second preset frequency is less than the first preset frequency.

When the change rate of the channel is less than the first preset value, it may be considered that the channel changes slowly, and the base station may feed back the channel information according to the second preset frequency. For example, if the channel changes slowly, a feedback may be performed on a set of channels every 100 ms, and feedback overheads may be lowered to 1/100, and may be further lowered to 1/200 or 1/400 in combination with a frequency domain.

As shown in FIG. 8, FIG. 8 describes a channel feedback information transmission method according to an embodiment of the present application. The method is used to feed back channel information, and the method specifically includes step 601 to step 605.

601: A base station performs channel estimation on a subcarrier on which an uplink pilot is located, and obtains first channel information.

The base station may perform, by using an algorithm, such as an MMSE (Minimum Mean Square Error) algorithm or an LS (Least Square) algorithm, the channel estimation on the subcarrier on which the downlink pilot is located.

The first channel information refers to a channel transmission function of the subcarrier on which the uplink pilot is located.

602: The base station performs a channel interpolation calculation on a channel of a data subcarrier according to the first channel information, and obtains second channel information according to a result of the channel interpolation calculation.

After the channel transmission function of the pilot subcarrier is estimated, a channel response of the data subcarrier may be obtained by means of interpolation between adjacent pilot subcarriers. Commonly used interpolation algorithms include a linear interpolation algorithm, a second-order interpolation algorithm, a time-domain interpolation algorithm and other interpolation algorithms.

The second channel information refers to a channel transmission function of a pilot subcarrier and a channel transmission function of a data subcarrier.

603: The base station determines a feedback factor.

The feedback factor may be understood as a proportion of a feedback. For example, if the feedback factor is 2, channel information of a resource element is fed back every two resource elements.

604: The base station obtains third channel information from the second channel information according to the feedback factor, where an amount of the third channel information is less than an amount of the second channel information.

The base station obtains all channel information by means of the channel estimation and the interpolation calculation, and if the channel information is all fed back to a data center, a large quantity of wireless feedback channel resources are occupied.

Therefore, the base station may select some information from the second channel information as third channel information by means of the feedback factor.

The feedback factor may be preset, or may dynamically change according to the amount of the second channel information. For example, if the feedback factor is set to 3, a piece of third channel information of a resource element is determined every three REs.

605: The base station feeds back the third channel information to a data center.

After a third channel on which a feedback needs to be performed is determined according to the feedback factor, channel information of the third channel is fed back to the data center.

It may be known from above that, according to the channel feedback information transmission method provided in this embodiment of the present application, the base station obtains third channel information from the second channel information according to the feedback factor, and the base station feeds back the third channel information to a data center. Some channel information is selected and fed back by means of a feedback factor, so that a balance between performance of a communications system and channel feedback transmission overheads is reached, thereby improving efficiency of a communications system.

Optionally, in another embodiment of the present application, step 603 includes step 603 a and step 603 b.

603 a: The base station calculates a channel variance according to the second channel information.

The base station calculates a channel of each subcarrier in a sub-band according to a channel interpolation algorithm, and then calculates a channel variance of the entire sub-band.

603 b: The base station determines the feedback factor according to the channel variance and the result of the channel interpolation calculation.

The base station determines and selects the feedback factor according to a relationship between the channel variance of the entire sub-band and the result of the channel interpolation calculation.

As time elapses, the feedback factor changes.

In a frequency band, the feedback factor is determined according to a performance requirement. Therefore, a compromise between performance of a communications system and channel feedback wireless transmission overheads may be achieved by determining the feedback factor.

Optionally, in another embodiment of the present application, step 603 specifically includes:

determining, by the base station, the feedback factor according to a time-domain half-wave bandwidth of the second channel information.

It is assumed that a length of a CP of an OFDM system is K, and a size of an FFT block is N. If an OFDM signal that is first input already completes synchronization, data obtained after CP removal is performed on the input signal: x₁, x₂, . . . , x_(K+N) is: x_(K+1), x_(K+2), . . . , x_(K+N). N pieces of data x_(K+1), x_(K+2), . . . , x_(K+N) is used as an input to perform an N-FFT transformation, and an output is: X_(K+1), X_(K+2), . . . , X_(K+N)In the N points, some positions are pilots. It is assumed that, L points of the N points are pilots, an LS or MMSE estimation is separately performed on the L points, that is, a frequency-domain channel estimation on each pilot position is completed: X=d×H+N, where X herein is data of the pilot position (that is, one piece of data of X_(K+1), X_(K+2), . . . , X_(K+N)), H represents a frequency-domain channel of the pilot position, N represents frequency-domain noise of the pilot position, and is a Gaussian random variable satisfying that a variance is σ², and d is pilot data transmitted by the pilot position, and is data that is already known, for example, 1 or −1 or another complex number. The channel estimation: an LS algorithm: H′=X(d^(H)d+σ²)⁻¹d.

After the frequency-domain channel of the pilot position is estimated, all frequency-domain channels of N positions are calculated by using an interpolation algorithm, and the interpolation algorithm includes an algorithm, such as Wiener filtering. Then, after an N-IFFT transformation is performed on the frequency-domain channel, channel pulses of a time domain are obtained: h₁, h₂, . . . , h_(N). A time-domain half-wave bandwidth may be calculated in a manner similar to that a frequency-domain bandwidth is calculated. For example, it is assumed that W satisfies |h_(W)|≥|h_(i)| (i=1, 2, 3 . . . , N). It is assumed that W1 satisfies a minimum subscript of

${{h_{W\; 1}} \geq {\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}{h_{W}}}},$

and W2 satisfies a maximum subscript of

${h_{W\; 2}} \geq {\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}{{h_{W}}.}}$

W₁−W₂ is calculated as the time-domain half-wave bandwidth. The larger bandwidth indicates that fluctuation of a frequency domain is larger, and the feedback factor is smaller (that is, a feedback needs to be performed on more channels). The smaller bandwidth indicates that fluctuation of the frequency domain is smaller, and the feedback factor is larger (that is, a feedback needs to be performed on fewer channels).
